In some of the countries where we operate, there is a tradition of corruption, in which the political elites work with business in the framework of unsavory relationships.

I find it interesting that many of the people who want to restrict fossil fuels live in well-developed countries where abundant and affordable energy is readily available.

I have a great deal of difficulty with those who live in a hugely prosperous country telling people in the developing world that they should be deprived of a critical source of energy.

Ethical conduct is something that becomes inherent in an organization over a long period of time.

The freedoms that people have that flow from all civic institutions fundamentally come from the success of a market system.

There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels.

It is important to remember that all business has an impact on the lives of real people.
